Thousands of ancestral bodies of First Nations citizens are still kept in museums and institutions around the world. The Narunnga community from the York Peninsula region of South Australia, has spent years searching for the missing remains of their ancestors.
Indigenous elders gathered to bury their ancestors on an untouched coastline at the south-western tip of the York Peninsula in South Australia.
For two decades, the remains of 38 of Narungga's dead people were put on display in South Australian museums. Now they have returned to their homeland and have been laid to rest on a designated piece of land.
It represents a long journey - some ancestors are more than 100 years old.
They eventually returned home and Kaurna [[Gar-nuh]] and the Narungga elders held a smoking ceremony to officially acknowledge the repatriation.
